|
|
| So I'v read that crunches really don't do anything for your core. Since I bicycle (Not racing cycling, but usually around 7-14 mph) almost everday on my mountain bike (Been doing so for four weeks straight so far), I realized that strong core muscles are necesarry.So which excercises are out there? Please know that I'm pretty much broke, so I can't buy videos, go to classes, buy equipment etc...Would the motions of swinging a baseball bat help? |

| I realize you said you're broke, but if you can swing like $39 bucks this program is TOTALLY worth it... http://www.6packAbsForLife.com I've been using it for 3 weeks now and it's AWESOME. Mike (the guy that started the website) is amazing... Tell him hi from "PepperPete" if you get a chance to talk with him.It answers all your questions, gives you a nutrition plan and hardcore ab workouts to name a few... |

| Since you ride your bike alot - ride it to a local park. Get on the monkey bars or find a chin-up bar and hang down from it - then bend your knees and pull them up to your chest (or as high as you can go) This will work your core abdominals as well as the lower abs (the ones that cause the belly pooch) You can even twist to the sides for a tighter waitline. This would be great to do after you've warmed up bike riding....good luck! |
